cant get my southpaw to clamp the bars. ive had it clamped before but crashed and knocked it out of position at weekend, when i went to fix it it just will not grip! anyone had similar issues?
Can't say that I've experienced that issue, have you tried carbon paste?
Try a wrap of gorilla tape around the bars or use a thin bit of old inner tube
You must have bent the jaws open a bit 🙁 as people have said shimming it out a bit should work.
I've just fitted one to my bike, it seems a nice bit of kit, just hope it isn't a bit fragile.
Yes, had the same issue, carbon paste helped a bit but in the end hit it with a mallet on a bit of wood to open it up slightly, no issues since then.
Yep, had the same issue from new, it's a know problem especially on carbon bars, where you just can't tighten them up enough, without massively exceeding the recommended torqs setting. I used scotch 2228 tape to pack it out abit. But any thick rubber tape would do.
thanks, i have tried a wrap of gorilla on the bar but that didnt help. like i said it did grip fine so im assuming its bent (cant fathom how i manged to that like) but will try to bend it together in a vice...
